WWE 2K17: 10 Forgotten Things You Can Still Do
7. Sliding Difficulty
When you've played the WWE 2K series year on year you become accustomed to how the AI operates: the little mannerisms they do, when they're likely to counter, when they will and won't kick out of pins... And while 2K has endeavoured to change and update the AI every year, that familiarlty is hard to avoid, and it makes the gameplay experience a lot easier.
That's why a few years ago the sliders were introduced to help increase and modify your game to suit your own style. For basic AI difficulty, you have Easy, Normal, Hard or Legend.
With the sliders you can additionally increase how easy/hard the AI can counter strikes, grapples, weapons or even finishers. On top of this, you can increase/decrease your difficulty on countering moves as well, reducing the time window for the same options. If you think you find the game too easy, try going into game balancing in the options menu and see how well you fare. Or just use Bo Dallas.
